Autoplay

The house
wore its new lick of paint

like a kid
showing off a new pair of shoes

that nobody else
could afford.

It smiled
like a spoilt brat

until a mangy cur
slouched up

& disdainfully
urinated slowly

against its new blue
doorness.

The windows
rolled thier eyes.

The door gasped.

Even the grass laughed
sniggering silently to itself.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Original Unknown Girl 26 February 2010

What's a mangy cur? Is this in oirish speak? ? ? I'm liking the poem though, something Alice-like in its quality... and yours are ALWAYS quality! Came snooping bout your pages thinking Sofia might have sparked a poem or too... shall just have to sit patiently tapping fingers on desk until you post some. HG: -) xx
